"Hi Emily, good to meet you. Klara Weis and I were going to start working on some stuff out here in the SV. Klara recently stepped down as a board member and knows most of the inner workings of the SV system. An issue we were facing had to do with…"

"Hi Ethan,
I am new to Sudden Valley, and am trying to connect with other TW people out here. Is there an ongoing conversation about how to move things in a sustainable direction out here? Would you be interested in participating in one?

"Ethan,
Please consider the possibility that others here that express opinions that don't entirely line up with yours may just possibly have done a lot of homework on the topic. I encourage you to find some alternative viewpoints outside of the…"

Hi Ethan,
Thanks for your response. Sounds like you are heading off for a wonderful adventure. I will contact Klara, but as I am not a homeowner at this time, I don't think that there is much I can do re: the guidelines/covenants.

Hi Ethan! Wecome! We live in similiar watersheds, although I'm further upstream NW from the lake than you. I wonder if we met at the 'Walk Your Walk' event?
I remember a few folks from Sudden Vally being present there. Thanks for starting another economics discussion on our site! Hope to meet you & your wife at one of the community events or work projects!
